Florida laws allow bicycle accident victims to be “made whole” after an accident, which means that accident victims or surviving family members should be fully compensated for both financial and non-economic losses that result from a bike crash. The goal of the Okeechobee bicycle accident lawyers at Steinger Greene & Feiner is to get the maximum in bike accident compensation possible in your particular case. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help you to do that.

When Can a Bicycle Accident Victim Obtain Compensation?

Under the laws of Florida, bicyclists who are seriously injured in accidents can hold motorists accountable if the driver’s carelessness or law-breaking is the direct cause of the crash. This means whenever a driver speeds or breaks other rules of the road, or whenever a motorist makes unreasonably dangerous decisions behind the wheel, that driver can be made to compensate the bicycle rider hurt in a resulting accident. Bicyclists can also take action even if the rider was partially to blame for a crash. For example, if you were careless in your bike riding but a driver also made an error and was primarily responsible for the crash, you could recover a portion of your losses from the negligent driver. Because of the comparative fault rules that apply in Florida, you should never assume that your own role in a bicycle accident will prevent you from being compensated for the wrongdoing or carelessness of another driver. Bike riders are not the only ones who can pursue a legal claim after a bike crash, either. If an accident results in a fatality, the family members of the bicyclist can pursue a wrongful death claim against the responsible driver.

My case couldn't have been handled better. It was handled in a timely manner - it wasn't rushed. If something ever happened again and I needed an attorney, Steinger, Greene & Feiner would be the first place I would go.

RELENTLESS LEGAL REPRESENTATION FOR Okeechobee INJURY VICTIMS

A personal injury can occur in a variety of ways, but almost all have the same results in common. Suddenly, your life is disrupted and possibly jeopardized physically, emotionally, and financially by an accident or incident which could have been prevented.

You May be Entitled to Monetary Damages to Cover all Losses

When you take legal action after a bicycle crash, you should be compensated not just for actual monetary damage that the wreck causes but also for your non-economic or non-financial damages as well. For example, some of the different types of compensation you should receive after a bike accident include:

Medical bills and treatment costs

Pain and suffering damages

Emotional distress damages

Payment of all lost wages whether you missed work, called in sick or have had your earning potential reduced temporarily or permanently

If the bicycle accident has led to death and family members are pursuing a wrongful death claim, then the damages in this case would include compensation for medical bills incurred before death, money to pay for funeral expenses, and compensation for lost companionship.
